Palin, the Wolf Slayer

The more I learn about this woman, the scarier she becomes. There's a very unethical and disgusting practice in Alaska which involves the shot gunning of animals such as wolves and bears from low, slow-flying airplanes. Thousands of animals are killed in Alaska every year using this method. Sarah Palin not only supports this, she is an avid hunter, herself. Recently, the State of Alaska brutally slaughtered 14 wolf pups that were just weeks old:

State wildlife agency personnel staked out a known wolf denning site -- a practice that is illegal under Alaska law -- and, using helicopters, they gunned down 14 adult wolves from the air, part of an effort to boost caribou populations in Southwest Alaska.

When they landed, they found the 14 helpless pups in the nearby dens -- just weeks old -- and methodically shot each one in the head. 28 wolves gunned down in all.
When the news got out that this has happened, how did Palin respond:

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has even signed off on a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to justify the state's barbaric wolf slaughter from the skies.

Palin, the Wolf Slayer, is also no friend of the polar bears. Palin believes global warming is a farce and that Polar Bears are not endangered. Right now she is suing to get polar bears removed off of the endangered species list. Of course, like all republicans the real reason for her stance is oil:
She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state's northern and northwestern coasts.
She also supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and anywhere else big oil wants. Big surprise!
